[dickemannen]

hello everyone!
i´m really new to this!
my movie is two 850 mb mpg files....do i have to split these two files into four to get it to fit on cd´s?? i want to make them fit into two! but is this impossible?...if i have to split them how can i do it?

you could split them and have 4 files
or you could merge them and re-cut them to 3 files

tmpgenc or virtualdub can do this - you cand find this on the left column under tools

merging and cutting will give you 1 less disc but can be more tricky.

its up to you

If it is MPEG1 then you could probably get one onto a 800MB disc.

You can always try to overburn if you have a compatible drive (like Lite-On)

Or use 90 or 99 min CDRs

Try, try, try

Or use 90 or 99 min CDRs

This is definitely the best way.

OR, you could run it through TMPGEnc to make XVCD with just a bit lower bitrates so that the output file is around 790 MB and then burn using Nero - that is IF your DVD player supports XVCD.

P.S. That way you could actually fit BOTH files on 1 CD but it is not recommended.

Re-encoding an MPEG should be your last, last choice. Not only will it take a long time but you will seriously loose some quality.
